Co-Founder & CEO, New Venture: Sustainable Farm Input Sales Enablement Platform

2 weeks ago


Montreal, Quebec, Canada Collage HR Full time

We are launching a ClimateTech venture that will enable agribusiness to more effectively grow trust in emerging sustainable agronomy solutions through powering the future of on-farm demos, advisor's product recommendations. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and highly experienced individual to act as Founder and Chief Executive Officer to build, lead and scale this venture.

Please note: This is not an employee opportunity at Diagram Ventures, but an opportunity in a new company created through our venture studio model. This company will be independent of Diagram Ventures.

The opportunity

Growers need local on-farm evidence to build trust in sustainable inputs (e.g., biologicals, cover crops) and identify the most suitable applications for their unique needs as their performance is highly variable based on local conditions.

Over the next decade, the sustainable crop inputs market is expected to double to over $100B. However, agribusinesses are not equipped to drive the volume and quality of on-farm trials required to support growers in this transition. Our new venture enables more efficient and effective on-farm trials through automating data integrations, managing operations across stakeholders, and synthesizing learnings.

This venture has been significantly de-risked, with solid traction from leading North American crop input retailers and manufacturers. This opportunity is ideal for a motivated entrepreneur, looking to maximize their chances of success, all while retaining significant founder equity.

Who we're looking for

We are assembling the dream team of entrepreneurs and technologists, and we are now looking for an accomplished Chief Executive Officer to lead the venture and guide the strategic vision.

Key responsibilities

  • Articulate and drive the strategic vision of the organization; execute, build upon, and scale the business' existing timeline/product roadmap
  • Build and lead a high caliber team
  • Develop and execute the go-to-market strategy
  • Provide overall leadership to the organization, working across all aspects and functions of the business (agronomy, product, marketing, sales, services, tech, finance, etc.).
  • Lead the fundraising efforts with the founding team and investors.
  • Work closely with the Investors/Board, communicating regularly

The ideal candidate:

Key Experience

  • Track-record of leading a business as a CEO, President, COO, Product Executive, or GM with P&L ownership within an organization.
  • Previously took a business or product from 0 to 1
  • Extensive knowledge in business development and partnership functions
  • Experience selling technology products into agribusinesses in the United States
  • Ideally the candidate has had exposure to the VC fundraising process at early-stage startups with experience working with investors and boards of directors

Other Desirable Assets

  • Good foundational knowledge of agronomic science and familiarity with on-farm trials
  • Experience building or selling AI-enabled software solutions

What you'll get:

  • Competitive compensation
  • Health insurance and benefits
  • An opportunity to contribute and be part of something big, meaningful, and different
